ASSHOLE PRANK OUTCALLER IN MCKINNEY

OP,
I understand the need to vent about this, and I feel for you girl (and thank you for not putting this in Alerts, btw). Clearly, you made a drive only to get the runaround, and jacked with. But let me hit you with some "cup is half full."

There's a little bit of batshit crazy in this, and I'm sure you've heard one of my favorite quotes: "You can't fix crazy." I'm just thrilled for you that you are ok. You weren't robbed, physically harmed, or truly cheated & mistreated. You weren't stung by Uncle Leo. You owned you're own part in it, that being not screening this child (lifting your shirt outside...pleeease), so you're good!

Don't let you son's toys interfere with your bill budget, and stay ever-vigilant with your screening. In my humble opinion, you dodged a bullet because it could'a been worse!

You're Safe!!! Now, rock on!

Sigh...it could have gone into savings or make IRA contributions. Maybe I'm just too cheap and thrifty. :-(

Slurpies ar $5 each we didnt even get the flash passes, but the crowd wasnt bad so we were good. A fun filled day we had a blast though it was worth every cent.

Not hijacking the topic but it's pretty easy to bust the bank at an amusement park these days. Try going to one of the parks in Orlando and see what $400 will get you. OMFG...gone in a flash! I've also found that being prudent with your $$ at an amusement park (it's for the kids, right?) can quickly ruin the experience (not to mention the fun) for everyone.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Hope it gets better.
